(C) Stub streets. Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in the new subdivision shall be such that said streets extend to the boundary line of the tract to make provisions for future extension of said streets into adjacent areas. A reserve strip may be required and held in public ownership.
(D) Street continuation and extension. The arrangement of streets shall provide for the continuation of existing streets from adjoining areas into new subdivisions unless otherwise approved by the commission or department having jurisdiction over such streets.
(E) Relation to topography. Streets shall be so arranged in proper relation to topography so as to result in usable lots, safe streets, and acceptable gradients.

(H) Half streets. Half streets shall be prohibited, except where unusual circumstances make such necessary to the reasonable development of a tract in conformance with this subchapter and where satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining part of the street is provided. Whenever a tract is to be subdivided borders on an existing half or partial street, the other part of the street shall be dedicated within such tract.
(I) Private streets. Private streets and roads shall be prohibited.
